Hundreds gathered outside Queen’s Park in Toronto recently to protest a law that regulates electronic cigarettes. The crowd puffed on e-cigarettes and chanted “vaping is not smoking” and “the Smoke-Free Ontario Act has failed”.
They were there to protest the province’s Electronic Cigarette Act, which passed in May. The act regulates where and how e-cigarettes can be sold and smoked, and it prevents “vape shops” from demonstrating how to use the devices.Proponents of e-cigarettes contend the devices are cleaner and healthier than traditional cigarettes. The rally was organized by Vapor Advocates of Ontario.
